Firecrackers would have been smart. On the bright side I didn't end up leaving behind as much as I thought I would have to. Left maybe an 8th behind in total, mostly of the cheapest stuff I had. Leaving behind the full 15g of truffles sucked, but I guess I have a reason to go back now
And based on past experience, psilocybin would probably just have made me feel even worse. Vomiting once from the shrooms could have started a chain reaction since I was already a bit queasy and phlegm/mucus-y.
Glad I didn't get any bright ideas about smuggling back hash or bud... Dutch airport security is no joke! Multiple patdowns, an almost strip search (got to keep my shirt, socks, and boxers on but the security guy had me take my pants down and got pretty handsy), multiple bag inspections (one of which involved taking everything out of the bag and closely inspecting each item, even unfolding and patting down each article of clothing, and opening every tiny pocket within a pocket), multiple passport checks, extensive questions about where I went and stayed while in Europe, what I do in the US... Easily the most extensive airport security process I've ever gone through. They even took all the cards out of my wallet, so good thing I didn't have blotter with me. I thought they were gonna make me toss my kratom, but after a lot of questions about what it's for and confirming that I brought it with me from the States and that it's legal in Illinois, they let me keep it. Thankfully, Dutch airport security staff are a lot friendlier than your average TSA agent. I actually may have lucked out getting pulled aside for extra screening - I would have missed the boarding period for my flight by a good 10 minutes if they hadn't called ahead from security to the gate and told them to wait for me. Then again, I may have otherwise cleared normal security more than 10 minutes faster and made my flight on time. Anyway, all's well that ends well, right?
On my way home to Chicago now, enjoying this lovely $17 slow as shit onboard wifi. Bout to eat the last of my space muffins (airport security wouldn't let me take a bottle of water with me, but they didn't say anything about the muffin, lulz)
